About The Otago Central Rail Trail (150km)

The Otago Central Rail Trail will take you on a recreational passage of discovery, revealing truly breathtaking treasures not readily accessible by any other means and unlike any other in New Zealand. Once a busy railway line connecting Clyde to Middlemarch, it's now a scenic, secluded trail spanning 150km. Cycle over old wooden trestle bridges, through eerie tunnels and across acres of sun-drenched rocky plains, and stop and admire the majestic mountains and dramatic gorges. The trail is relatively flat and generally takes four days to complete comfortably. And, you'll experience classic southern hospitality when you stop overnight in small towns along the way.
